- Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
- Lien: A claim against real or personal property in satisfaction of a debt.
- Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.

- Remainderman: One entitled to the remainder of an estate after a particular reserved right or interest, such as a life tenancy, has expired.
If the plaintiff claims an estate for life only in the premises and pays a sum allowed to the defendant for improvements, he or his executor or administrator, at the termination of his estate, is entitled to receive of the remainderman or reversioner the value of such improvements as they then exist; and shall have a lien therefor on the premises as if they had been mortgaged for its payment, and may keep possession until it is paid. If the parties cannot agree on the existing value, it may be settled as in case of the redemption of mortgaged real estate.
